Inspired by abstract planetary landscapes rather than traditional garden blooms. Built by layering hand-cut vintage silk remnants, this brooch features dense constellation stitching and slow hand sewing to create a sculpted, otherworldly form.

Each flower is cut, sculpted, and stitched by hand, with hand-stitched details throughout.  The shape is irregular, so no two come out the same. Each brooch takes about 4-5 hours of handwork.

Stitched with pure silk thread, the piece reveals subtle variations in tone, natural slubs, and raw-edge finishes.

I work without industrial factory molds or patterns, cutting, shaping, and hand-stitching every petal one by one.  This slow, labor-intensive work carries forward a family tradition of giving damaged historical textiles new life. 

These preserved textiles exist in small, unrepeatable lengths.  Some fabrics yield a small, limited run, while others produce only a single flower.  Once a specific fabric is used, it can never be replaced.  Subtle shifts in grain, aged patina, and tone ensure that every piece remains singular. 

 

Details & Craft

  • Process: Each fragment is cut, hand-sculpted, and hand-stitched one by one in my New York Studio; zero machine stamping.

  • Material: Reclaimed cotton canvas, vintage silk kimono, reclaimed silk textiles

  • Finish: Raw edge detailing throughout, celebrating the natural fraying and softening of aging silk.

Material Care

Aged wear and subtle shifts in texture are part of the silk's history, not a defect.  Slight fraying over time is a natural characteristic of raw-edge vintage textiles.  Spot clean only when necessary, and gently reshape the petals by hand as needed.
